Independent wrestling promotion 2CW (Squared Circle Wrestling) released a statement earlier today announcing that after 10 years, the promotion will be shutting down operations.

A few weeks ago I got together with some of the crew in 2CW to talk bluntly about the feelings I’ve been having regarding 2CW running its course and that we should end it now while we have a chance to do it on our own terms. When we began talking, it became fairly obvious that the other guys feelings, while not all exactly the same, were similar in many ways – most meaningful was that we love and respect 2CW and the 2CW audience too much to idly stand by and allow it to drag on pass the point of health and vibrancy.

At meetings end, we realized that after ten years together we were faced with a tremendous opportunity to graciously step away, united in our feeling of gratitude. 2cw ?#?2sets? on Sunday, December 20th, in Syracuse will be our final show. We are thrilled and proud that our final show can be held at the Pastime Athletic Club, where 2CW began about ten years ago. We are also immensely excited about the shows in Binghamton and Watertown. These will be our final three shows together. 2CW is done. It’s been an incredible journey. We thank everyone over the years for all the love and support that you have shown us.

The promotion have brought in numerous names over the years including The Young Bucks, Kevin Steen/Kevin Owens, The Dudleys, Carlito, Magnus, Mickie James, Samoa Joe and many more
